Hi Kieren,

\version "2.19.45"

#(define (format-mark-null mark context)
  (make-null-markup))

myLayout =
\layout {
  \context {
  \Score
  markFormatter = #format-mark-null
  }
}

mus = {
  R1 \mark \default
  R
  \mark "foo"
  R
  \mark \default
  R
  \mark "bar"
}

\score {
  \mus
  \layout {}
}

\score {
  \mus
  \layout { \myLayout }
}

works for me. Not sure it's really what you want, though.

Cheers,
  Harm
